The construction of the FiK 59 stage started today in the Italy square of Tirana. So far, the Albanian public television RTSH has not officially confirmed the dates of the festival.
By December 26, RTSH sources say that FiK 59 will take place, although they have not yet finalized the deadlines, waiting to see the developments with the pandemic, the internal unrest that broke out in the last days due to the murder of a citizen by the police, but also the mood of the weather. Do not forget that FiK 59 will take place outdoors and the weather plays an important role in its smooth running.
However, the construction of the tent started today:

In less than a month we will officially know the first song of Eurovision 2021. As revealed in a tv interview by Era Rusi, one of the candidates of FiK 59, the annual Albanian song festival will take place on December 17, 18 and 19! Read more
The Albanian Public Television (RTSH) presented more details to the press today for FiK 59. What is most interesting is that due to the pandemic, it was decided that Festivali i Këngës 59 should not take place traditionally at the Congress Palace, but in the Square of Italy inTirana, outdoors.
Presenters of FiK 59 will be Jonida Vokshi and Blendi Salaj. As in previous years, the festival will last for three days, just with a slightly different structure this time. On the first night we will listen to all the candidate songs. On the second night, all the candidate songs will be presented again, but in their unplugged version. On the third night, all the songs that receive the green light from the jury, which this year will be composed only of Albanians, will compete for the victory.
In case the presence of the musicians of the orchestra is not possible, the performers will sing with the music of the orchestra pre-recorded. By November 10, all contestants, whose names have been announced, must submit the final versions of their songs. RTSH will then publish the candidate songs of FiK 59 on YouTube. That is, much earlier than in other years.
FiK 59 is expected to take place at the end of December, as usual. Until then, let us remember once again Arilena Ara and the song that gave her last year’s victory at FiK and with which she would represent Albania in Eurovision 2021:

Eurovision Albania, one day earlier, betrayed the surprise! Among the names we have almost all the rumored artists of the previous period, but also several who participated in previous FiK.

Shortly after Eurovision Abania revealed the list, the country’s public television (RTSG) confirmed the news, giving us the titles of the songs. The jury that selected the 26 songs consisted of: Alma Bektashi, Jonida Maliqi, Agim Doçi, Klodian Qafoku and Eugent Bushpepa. With enough dose of eurostars as you can see.
FiK 59 is expected to take place at the end of December, as usual. The winner is selected by a jury, without the participation of the audience. Arilena Ara who was the winner of last year’s FiK is not participating again, so now we can officially say that we will not see her in the next Eurovision song contest.
